kernel: x86-64: syscall-audit: 32/64 syscall hole

The auditsyscallentry function in the Linux kernel 2.6.28.7 and earlier on the x8664 platform does not properly handle 1 a 32-bit process making a 64-bit syscall or 2 a 64-bit process making a 32-bit syscall, which allows local users to bypass certain syscall audit configurations via crafted...

kernel: exit_notify: kill the wrong capable(CAP_KILL) check

The exitnotify function in kernel/exit.c in the Linux kernel before 2.6.30-rc1 does not restrict exit signals when the CAPKILL capability is held, which allows local users to send an arbitrary signal to a process by running a program that modifies the exitsignal field and then uses an exec system...

Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : kernel (MDVSA-2008:043)

A flaw in the vmsplice system call did not properly verify address arguments passed by user-space processes, which allowed local attackers to overwrite arbitrary kernel memory and gain root privileges. Mandriva urges all users to upgrade to these new kernels immediately as this flaw is being...
